SAP Business ByDesign

1. Go to the Fixed Assets work center.
2. Go to the Periodic Tasks > Depreciation view.
3. Find Depreciation Run BBB (BBB means the Depreciation Run ID).
4. Click Log Result hyperlink.
5. Go to the Messages tab.

Information message is displayed:

'AAA not assigned to any cost object on YYYY-MM-DD; excluded from calculations'

The issue happens due to the validity of the assignment interval of the referred asset AAA to its cost object.

For any asset to be included in the Fixed Asset Depreciation Run or in the fixed asset reports (for example Depreciation report), the asset's org. assignment should be valid as on the period end date.

For example: if you execute the Depreciation Run for period 012/2017, the assignment of the asset to its cost object (for example, a cost center) should be valid until 31.12.2017, not before (for example, 15.12.2017).

As a result, the asset AAA, which has pending depreciation to be posted, was excluded from the depreciation run.

Since the pending depreciation was not posted you'll come across error messages while trying to perform fiscal year closing activities, such as Balance Carryforward Step 1:

'The balance carryforward is not possible. Execute Depreciation under Fixed Assets'

'Closing of YYYY not possible. Perform depreciation run for fixed asset AAA'

YYYY means the fiscal year that you are trying to close.

You should extend the validity of the assignment interval for fixed asset AAA and its cost object to be valid as on the period end date.

Afterwards, you should execute a new Depreciation Run, which will post the pending depreciation amount for the asset.

Finally you should be able to execute the Balance Carryforward Step 1 successfully.

Note: If you are dealing with Right of Use assets, these are tied to lease contracts. The org assignment is not defined in the asset, rather it is copied over from the relevant lease. In the Leased Objects tab you'll see an org assignment table, which is where you should add the new org assignment validity.
